题目内容
8.Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina.We were there,as mental health professionals,to offer"psychological(心理的) first aid"and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence.As we walked in the gate to the shelter,we were greeted with a burst of gratitude from the first person we met.I felt appreciated,but also guilty,because I hadn't really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend's mother passed away unexpectedly.I had received a call saying she had just passed away.I wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn't want to disturb this very personal period of sadness.I was torn about what to do.Another friend with me then said,"Just go.Just be there."I did,and I will never regret it.
Since then,I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others.Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS-related dying.He was not awake,and obviously unaware of others'presence.However,the atmosphere was by no means solemn.His family,playing guitars and singing,allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.
In my life,I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence.In it,none of us are truly alone.It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.

解答 25~28.BDDA
25.B 考查推理判断.根据"We were there,as mental health professionals,to offer"psychological(心理的) first aid"可知,作者是一名心理医生,而心理医生主要的职责就是陪伴病人,为他们扫除心理阴影.所以飓风的受害者们是感谢作者的陪伴.故选B.
26.D 考查细节理解.根据"I wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn't want to disturb this very personal period of sadness"可知,当他朋友的母亲去世时,作者犹豫是否要先离开,让朋友静一静.故选D.
27.D 考查词意猜测.根据"His family,playing guitars and singing,allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive"可知,他的家人在玩吉他和唱歌,仿佛逝去的亲人还活着.可推断出当时的气氛没有那么严肃和悲伤.故选D.
28.A 考查细节理解.根据"In my life,I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence.In it,none of us are truly alone.It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better"可知,作者明白陪伴是最好的心理治疗,而逝者已去,没有人是完全孤独的,活在当下才是最重要的.故选A.
